I.Read the following passage, and then choose the best answer from A, B, C or D.
Noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is another environmental pollutant. Particularly
in congested urban areas, the noise produced as a byproduct of our advancing technology
causes physical and psychological harm, and detracts from the quality of life for those who are
exposed to it.
Unlike the eye, the ear has no lid; therefore noise penetrates without protection. Loud noises
instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human beings.
In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate. In fact, there is a general increase in
functioning brought about by the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear.
Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding in
the same ways that we would respond to danger. Recently, researchers have concluded that
noise and our response may be much more than an annoyance. It may be a serious threat to
physical and psychological health and well-being, causing damage not only to the ear and brain
but also to the heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is America’s number
one nonfatal health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and
ulcers may be victims of noise as well.
41. What is the author’s main point?
A. Loud noises signal danger.
